The Buddha

Made with this course.

Project Description

Who is this project for?
Unisex
What are you most proud of?
That I actually made a bail even though it is not really the correct direction, but with a jump ring added it works just fine.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
I made my own mold for this from a Buddha necklace I have. Getting the depth just right when you are creating molds is sometimes difficult , I practice with regular clay in my molds before I use PMC, & sometimes they still don't come out the way you expect them to. This one I had to fill in the back a few times because the mold was not level, but, you have to keep trying & it does get better.

What you will need

Silver Precious Metal Clay

Liver of Silver Patina

oxidized chain

Great job! I have yet to try making a mold, even though I have the supplies for it. Great advice to practice with regular clay!

RosieMeadow answered:

Thank you!

Frances Tornese asked:

This is wonderful. Is the figure hollow or solid? How much clay did it take to make?

RosieMeadow answered:

Hi White Owl Woman, this is solid metal clay, I am not sure how many grams it is but I can check and let you know.
